Lellingeria is a genus of 50 to 70 small epiphytic ferns from tropical regions of Madagascar, Africa, the Americas and the Pacific Islands. Its members are rarely grown and none are known in cultivation, so care guidance is limited to general fern-of-the-canopy conditions.
Lellingeria is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Grammitidoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).
About 50–70 species of Lellingeria are known. They are native to tropical areas of Madagascar, Africa, the Americas, and Pacific Islands. None are known in cultivation. Lellingeria was named for the American pteridologist David Lellinger.
